Research on Improved Particle Swarm Computational Intelligence Algorithm and Its Application to Multi-Objective Optimisation

Due to the pervasive generalization challenges in optimization technology, there is a noticeable trend toward planning and diversifying optimization techniques. This paper focuses on particle swarm optimization algorithms, particularly their application in multi-objective optimization scenarios. Initially, the study examines basic particle swarm, standard particle swarm, and particle swarm algorithms with a shrinkage factor. Subsequently, an enhanced particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed, incorporating a hybridization model and a convergence factor model tailored to the specific characteristics of particle swarm algorithms. This improved algorithm is then applied to multi-objective optimization problems, establishing a novel algorithm based on the fusion of the enhanced particle swarm approach with constrained optimization. Simulation experiments conducted on this model reveal significant findings. In low-dimensional settings, the algorithm achieves a 100% optimization success rate, marking an average improvement of 53.80%, 40.78%, and 24.76% over competing algorithms. Moreover, in multi-objective optimization simulation experiments, this algorithm generates 142 and 135 optimal solutions, outperforming traditional algorithms by 112 and 107 solutions, respectively. These results validate the efficiency and enhanced performance of the improved particle swarm-based multi-objective optimization algorithm, demonstrating its potential as an effective tool for addressing real-world optimization challenges. © 2024 Lifei Chen et al., published by Sciendo.
